Dramatic video captured by the target of a bizarre St. Thomas parking lot attack shows a man swinging a baseball bat at a family in what may be racially motivated incident.

The attack in the parking lot of Elgin Mall was unprovoked, police say. A video posted to social media by an apparent target shows a man wielding a baseball bat and shouting “terrorist” and “ISIS” at what’s believed to be two adults and a teen boy.

The teenager managed to record some of the attack, police say. The incident could have been “racially motivated,” police say.

One of the three targets was hurt, suffered a cracked rib and bruising. The man with the baseball bat left the parking lot in a white BMW, police say.

A 36-year-old man was arrested at a London home Thursday and charged with aggravated assault and three counts of assault with a weapon.
